1 Presentation Policy Aims 1. To establish high expectations and pride in everything we do both of ourselves and of the children. 2. To create a clear and consistent set of guidelines for the presentation of children s learning. Objectives To motivate each individual to present their work in the best possible way. To enable children to recognise work that is presented to a high standard. To ensure each child knows the standard of presentation that is expected of them. For Teachers To create consistency in standards of presentation across the school. To provide a baseline for judging acceptable standards of presentation. Expectations for Teaching Staff Remember you are the most importable role model for presentation and high expectations! Use the resources available to you eg. on the IWB lines, grids to model good practice. All handwriting which is on display for the children on the interactive whiteboard, books, flip charts, display should be joined, legible, consistently formed and neat. All children s work must be marked using the agreed marking policy. When sticking work/labels/headings in books ensure they are straight and cut to size. Make sure that children clear work surfaces and the floor before leaving the room to reduce waste of resources. Expectations for Children Use of pencils and pens Pencils should be used in all Maths books and in draft work if appropriate. Margins in books and on paper should be drawn in pencil if required.

2 Pens should be used for written work at the point where the teacher judges the child s handwriting to be sufficiently neat and fluent. Pens must be fibre tip. No ballpoint, biros or felt pens should be used. Felt pens should not be used in exercise books for underlining or illustrations although they can be used on paper at the teacher s discretion. Expectations for Handwriting The Collins scheme is the agreed scheme for teaching handwriting. Trebuchet MS font is the preferred style for all worksheets and handouts, where this is not available a suitable alternative may be used. Use the right size letters when you need to capital letters at the start of sentences and for proper nouns. Handwriting is taught for at least 15 minutes per week and as an integral part of spelling and phonics lessons. Bubbles in place of full stops or dots above the letter I are not acceptable. Expectations for Layout The date is written at the top on the left; the title which may be linked to learning objective is to be written in the centre of the line below the title. The date and title must be underlined using a ruler. At the start of a new piece of work, miss a line under the last piece of work, rule off and start on a new line. Don t leave a blank page. Miss a line under the title and start at the margin. Paragraph indentation should be used as soon as the children are confident to do so. If you make a mistake, draw one neat line through the mistake and start again do not over-write. Write ON THE LINE. Do not write in the margin. Layout in Mathematics In Upper KS2 and if appropriate a margin 2 squares wide and drawn on the left hand side of each page. The previous piece of work should be ruled off with the date written in figures on the line below. The date and the title should be underlined. All figures must be written neatly and clearly with one figure to each square. Each calculation must be clearly numbered with the number in the margin to distinguish it from working figures.

3 Classroom Organisation and Resources Children should have easy access to the appropriate equipment: rulers, pens, pencils, colouring pencils, learning journals/draft books Each room has wipeboards available for all the children. Children and staff should check the floor and other surfaces before leaving the room eg at break time for spare equipment Outcomes of Presentation Policy Children of all abilities are able to present their work to the highest possible standard increasing their confidence and self-esteem. There is consistency across the school in terms of the standard of presentation expected. Progression in presenting work between each class is evident and understood by all children and adults. Monitoring of Presentation Policy The Headteacher will monitor via pupils work being brought to him for recognition. Regular work scrutiny by staff, including subject co-ordinators will ensure the policy is being adhered to. This ensures that the policy leads to good practice in facilitating effective feedback, learning and teaching. Policy written and approved by staff: Policy approved and ratified by policy committee: Policy accepted and approved by full Governors: Signed: (Headteacher) Signed: (Chair of Governors)
